Answer: B
Explanation: Good luck! :D
Answer:
Ice Sheet - Shrinking in a glacier
Moraine - Rock piles left by glaciers
Countour Planting - One way to prevent soil erosion
Retreating - Continent Sized
Explanation:
Ice Sheet: Shrinking of ice sheets in a glacier is a result of the burning of fossil fuels that building up greenhouse gases in the environment and leading to global warming. When ice exposes to heat, it shrinks and melts.
Moraine: A moraine is defined as the debris or piles of rock left behind by a moving glacier.
Countour Planting: Contour farming or planting is a farming technique in which plants are grown in row patterns across a slope following its elevation contour lines. It prevents soil erosion by capturing at least twice the rainwater.
Retreating: Retreating is the process in which either ice melts or erode. Continent size can be affected by the retreating ability of glaciers.
Hence, the correct answer is:
Ice Sheet - Shrinking in a glacier
Moraine - Rock piles left by glaciers
Countour Planting - One way to prevent soil erosion
Retreating - Continent Sized
Answer: B. participate in the hydrologic cycle
Explanation: Residence time of water is the rate of water in a water reservoir such as the ocean or the atmosphere divided by how fast more water is added to it or lost from it.
While residence time is thousands of years in oceans, water in the atmosphere has a short residence time of abut 10 – 11 days. This allows it to participate in the hydrologic cycle which includes evaporation and precipitation. Water in the atmosphere precipitates as snow or rain, returning to other water reservoirs.
